While the project in question was in fact the upcoming supervillain team-up The Suicide Squad, Gunn admits that Superman “was a possibility.”
Gunn is looking to make an impression with The Suicide Squad, and has clearly already impressed studio bosses, as spin-offs have already been put into development.
The Suicide Squad meanwhile is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 6, 2021.
While Gunn turned it down in favour of The Suicide Squad, it is hard not to feel a twinge of disappointment that we will never see Gunn’s take on the Man of Steel come to fruition.
